Chocolate Sprinkles Hybrid
I didn't
start seeds this year so I will have to buy plants, which is not a problem since I have near me some independently owned nurseries which carry great selections of hybrid and heirloom tomatoes. I picked this one up at Home Depot this morning. I was intrigued by the novelty of it, but I haven't been able to find out its parents. I think that several folks on Tomatoville have grown it. I won't plant it in the ground until at least two weeks from now, probably longer than two weeks.

I've heard some positive things about CS. Please post and let us know about how it does for you. I wanted to try it, but no room this year.

I want to see how it does against fungal diseases.

I grow this every year. I think it is fabulous. it is meaty, sweet and a bit of tang to it. very productive and it doesn't split.

In regards to disease resistance I can't answer. I grow inside of a high tunnel which is far superior to outside in my area..
